***From a USA Today Bestselling Author!***

A story about old friendships, a past not soon forgotten, and finding what they didn't know they could have.

Melissa

I finally landed my dream job, put my college degree to good use, and I even managed to be near my beloved airplanes.

I wanted a fresh start in a new town, but I never wanted to lose everything in the process.

How could fate be this cruel after I'd endured so much already?

Jake

I tried to put as much distance between the mistakes of my past and the one girl who still haunted me.

But fate had other plans for my future.

Would I ever be able to make amends for the pain I'd caused?

The story has the potential to really build into something that is amazing. It was nicely written but maybe a little rushed.

What a great story. It was so great when Melissa met Jake in front of her fire destroyed house. Jake letting his feelings take hold and inviting Melissa to stay at his house. Then I could just imagine the feeling of Melissa when they pulled up in front of the house she tried to buy and Jake found out she was the reason he had to pay twenty thousand more for the house. Jake had to go to the firehouse and Melissa found that even the furniture she bought he had the exact same thing. After she read the letter and Jake came back home his kiss was great. They had years that they needed to learn about each other from the past. They finally were able to work everything out and three months later was the wedding and the happily ever after. I loved this story and gladly recommend it to everyone. I received a free copy of this book but am leaving a glowing review of this story on my own free will. Amy I loved your story. Thank you for a well written story.

When a fire hits the town Melissa lives in and her home is destroyed. She has no choice but to stay with the fighter fighter who helped her, but only if she can move on from her past with him.

This short story sounded so cute from the minute I got it, and it was. Amy Proebstel did a lovely job of getting you focused on the characters, their backstory, and their future. Only thing I wish is that it was a bit longer. Not necessarily a full story. But I wish there was a few more chapters to expand on them reconnecting. Other than that, it was beautiful and showcases the authors talent.

Communication is Key to Happiness -
I enjoyed reading this good clean romance about a high school couple that get a second chance at love, after being apart for years due to a misunderstanding and stubbornness. Luckily, a having to spend time in close proximity gave them the opportunity to clear up all their issues and get the chance at the future they missed out on. I couldn’t stop once I started this book and had fun reading until I reached the end. I will be happy to recommend this book.

I received a copy of this book free and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a sweet little novella. The story was believable and the characters were heartwarming. I was able to read a copy of this book via Kindle Docs, but it did not in any way affect my review. All opinions are my own.

I loved this book. It's what you always wish would happen. Fast and easy communication. And nothing or no one to mess it up. It's the story of Melissa and Jake, who had a misunderstanding at prom eight years ago. They meet again, and the book is about what happens now.
